This expansion will strengthen the UAE’s energy base, crucial for advancing AI technologies. Taqa is currently negotiating with potential partners and equipment suppliers for these projects.</p> <p>The sites under consideration are Dhafra and Al-Nouf, with Dhafra likely to be prioritised for development. Specialist consultancy firms will assess the details and logistics of the projects.</p> <p>The new gas-fired facilities will modernise the UAE’s energy sector. They will meet AI’s growing demands and ensure a reliable and flexible power supply. The UAE’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031 emphasises the need for a strong energy foundation to attract talent, integrate AI into critical sectors, and establish effective regulations.</p> <p>The new power plants will provide the flexibility and capacity necessary for this transformation. They will complement ongoing efforts to integrate <a href="https://theelectricityhub.com/?s=renewable+energy">renewable energy</a> sources. The gas-fired plants will offer reliable electricity generation and adapt to changing demands.</p> <p>These projects stand apart from other initiatives managed by Emirates Water & Electricity Company (Ewec). Ewec is working on the Taweelah C combined-cycle power plant, scheduled for 2028, and the Madinat Zayed open-cycle plant, planned for 2027. Both projects aim to enhance the stability of the UAE’s power grid while supporting renewable energy integration.</p> <p>The Taweelah C plant will provide transitional capacity to support the growth of renewable energies. The Madinat Zayed project will offer backup capacity to handle rapid demand fluctuations. These projects reflect a pragmatic approach to energy diversification.</p> <p>Ewec awarded its last major combined-cycle project, the Fujairah F3, to Marubeni Corporation in 2020. The new gas-fired projects continue the UAE’s strategy to increase energy resilience and meet the demands of a high-tech economy.</p> <p>The UAE’s broader energy capacity-building framework aims to attract necessary investments and support continued growth. The new gas-fired power plants play a crucial role in this strategy, reinforcing the nation’s <a href="https://theelectricityhub.com/?s=energy+infrastructure">energy infrastructure</a> while supporting technological advancement.</p> <p>In summary, Abu Dhabi’s development of 5,000 MW of new gas-fired power plants represents a significant step in enhancing the UAE’s energy capacity. This expansion will support the country’s AI strategy and address <a href="https://theelectricityhub.com/?s=future+energy">future energy</a> needs. The projects will provide the flexibility and reliability required for a high-tech economy and complement ongoing efforts in renewable energy.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://theelectricityhub.com/abu-dhabi-unveils-5000-mw-gas-power-boost-for-ai-strategy/">Abu Dhabi Unveils 5,000 MW Gas Power Boost for AI Strategy</a> appeared first on <a href="https://theelectricityhub.com">The Electricity Hub</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://theelectricityhub.com/abu-dhabi-unveils-5000-mw-gas-power-boost-for-ai-strategy/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
